Once again NBC let's us down 👎👎
i will hate nbc (nothing but crap) for the rest of my life.
Preach on preach on ✊✊
What a 6th season would have done for the original series but the debate is...would going BEYOND THE BAR hurt the mystery and intrigue
NBC let us down alright. This abomination should have never existed. The original was great and it should have never been brought back after Dean Stockwell passed away!
@@IAmAHeater Dean Stockwell stated in a Skype "THEY" waited too long to do QUANTUM LEAP right.
The new series could have AT LEAST stated that Al Calavicci "died from a broken heart" due to PQL losing contact with Dr Beckett
Sammie Jo backstory could have been incorporated EXPLAINING that she did leap only to locate her father but he declined the invitation home. "QUANTUM LEAP IS MY HOME Sammie Jo". Therefore Sammie Jo returns home UNDERSTANDING THE "WHY" and further updating Ziggy.
Just when it was getting good…. Really upsetting news. NBC are making the same mistake they made 30 years ago.
This sucks I guess there are 3 people lost out there now and none of them going home now 😭
What about Sam?They said they were gonna bring him back. Now we have three people lost in time forever.
Yes,many promises were broken in this series. Magic promised Al he would not lose another leaper, Ian and Jen promised each other they'd get Ben home. Magic promised a Congresswoman they could save her brothers life,and YES! This series did nothing but get 2 more people stuck out there now who will probably never get back home. Except for finding out where Al and Sam stood with eachother after the original series finales events,this new series didnt tell the true fans anything they wanted to know. Plus many opportunities for potential great stories that were seeded in earlier episodes,. I.E. Ben's Mother, the Congress womans dead brother,are now in the toilet thanks to the cancellation.
Hey, #NBC...NEVER watching any new shows EVER. AGAIN. 🤨
The original series didnt see a 6th season WHICH WOULD HAVE included Beth and refreshed Al as happily married with four daughters but still ever the lovable horndog
Losing THIS "QUANTUM LEAP" was a blessing
It just wasnt working and its desperate attempts at tributing the orignal series
Addison joining Ben is making good on Al joining Sam as a leaper via the bartender
If cancelling "QUANTUM LEAP" is truly THAT blasphemous Im sure a streaming service could pick up the series from round 3
You can't replace. Scott and Dean.
Here is a newsflash for you, Dean is dead and Scott is off doing nothing. Maybe you should get current and no one was trying to "replace" anything. I guess you will always watch hard hitting TV like "Deal or No Deal Island" considering this show has a hone in the same place.
@@stevenambrose6266 The TV world is harsh. Shows that no one watches get axed.
They were doing fine with Ben song but they went woke, BAD, and started with the preachy "what French people called cigarettes"AG 💩
I don't watch TV shows to have my intelligence insulted
@PleaseE777vidmax oh for the love of it all. We are not going to there with stating that people weren't racist or homophobic enough. Get over it. So, now you won't hane anything. Being a good person isn't "woke" and treating a group with some respect isn't "woke" but just go and back with your homophobic and racist talk that get your 0sychological juices flowing.
@@PleaseE777vidmax nbc is so antiwoke, they are bigots.
what is it with NBC
you bring us some thing we love
then you go cancle it,
no point in starting things if you never
want to finish them
To be fair it was doomed the moment they announced Scott Bakula wasn’t going to return. I’m surprised it got a second series. It’s a shame as it wasn’t that bad but he would have been the main reason that most people would have watched it.
Bastards. I never missed an episode. So disappointing.
The whole series was disappointing. Nothing to be proud of, they really destroyed a great franchise.
I wanted this reboot so badly , I feel like the casting was bad , and the acting was so forced
Damn it NBC - can you ever just let a series breath and try propelling part a few more seasons? This could have at least been a three season series.
They can't cancel, they have to get Sam home!
Scott Bakula declined to reprise
No, the orginal ending was great.
I think it's best Sam stayed fixing the past as he's a good natured person.
God told Sam that he can stop leaping whenever he wanted. So Sam is staying
Yes they did….. canceledand c’est la vie.
Even Dr Sam Beckett HIMSELF declined partaking the new series
Reviving QUANTUM.LEAP is a delicate process ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING it's abrupt vanishing job on Dr Beckett but before THE BIG POOF; realign Al and Beth
It was nothing but an uphill battle for Dr Ben Song. Too much drama among PQL; the subplots; the CSI approach... meanwhile WHY DO WE CARE DR BEN SONG REVIVED PROJECT QUANTUM LEAP and the pilot episode botches it's initial KISS WITH HISTORY.
July 10 1985...BACK TO THE FUTURE should be on the movie marquee.
I hope someone picks it up or they resolve things in a movie
Not the first time ever. Leah the evil leader joined Sam becoming a good leaper
What?! How come they're telling us now instead of earlier at the season 2 finale date? If Quantum Leap (2022 series) is about to be cancelled, the producers should wrap it up A.S.A.P. before pulling the plug.
Oh I’m pissed! It’s bad enough that they canceled the entire series, but they weren’t even trying to bring Sam home so the Lord or whatever happened to Sam is still the fact that he never returned home. So after this first reboot, I doubt they’ll be a second reboot or somebody will focus on bringing him home to Donna Eleese, and Sammy, Joe
There's been a new Quantum Leap series? For two years?
Yeah, it wasn't very good and got shuffled off.
@@spaceflight1019after the exposition dump that was the first episode, it was good, then we got to Trans basketball and how the trans person had a predictable mental crisis. And we were brow beat with the Messyj. coughMessageCough
@@spaceflight1019Nah it was great for what it was
@kiwiangeldust6912 Yeah, which was crap
Its was really disappointing off the pilot tbh with you.
I loved OG Quantum Leap and was glad they did a continuation instead of a complete reboot. But, as much as I'm disappointed it was canceled, they missed the mark in this one. The new QL just seemed very disjointed. I did watch it, and they had a great cast. But they were dropping current social agendas into the middle of episodes where it really made no sense & it took away from the flow of the story; or it was done in a very unrealistic way. At least in OG QL, they would either make the social issue what the entire episode was about or it fit into the story in an organic way. It was interesting to see what was going on behind-the-scenes at Project Quantum Leap, but they concentrated too much on the ensemble than they should have. They were trying to be diverse. I get that...but when it comes to the number of characters in a time travel show like this, less is more.
Bingo
I'm sad it's been canceled. I like both shows. Hopefully they won't replace it with something I won't like. That is usually the case. I guess not enough viewers liked it.
Now I decided to watch the show :(
I am conflicted. I love the I.P, but this reboot did not capture the spirit of the franchise. I am not suprised, but I am dissapointed in this show. Overall the show ended on a high note and wrapped up its story nicely. All the best to the actors, writers, producers of the show. Hope they do bigger and better things.
I suggest NBC make this right
They already did by canceling it.
@@blueblur2273 gfy
The rating got low because everyone got tired of waiting on Sam beccett to make his entrance.
I stopped at the trans basketball one. Just thought "Here we go again" They have F US money and don't need to write good shows anymore. Turner Broadcasting only wants to socially engineer us sci fi fans. Whilst not knowing us sci fi fans have a modicum of sentience. And keen nose for BS. 😅
I was hoping for the show to return to Al's Place, where Bartender Al and Sam would explain what was expected of Ben, after which Sam would retire and return home. But the showrunners wanted their version to have its own identity, but that identity never caught on.
@@spaceflight1019 That would have been difficult with all the time that's passed, and all characters having aged. But sweet nonetheless.
I was hoping seeing as Janice was Al's daughter, and Magic was in Sam's brother's platoon, they could have finally leapt him back. What with Ben using gravity to zip forward or backwards in time. Find out Sam has been setting right what once went wrong for decades since. 😆 Peace friend.
@@PleaseE777vidmax (The show opens up with a shot of Ben leaping...)
When he materializes, he is looking at the TV, playing the opening of Captain Z-Ro.
Sam looks at Bartender Al, and says "Do you think that he's ready for this?"
Al looks back at Sam and replies "Were you?"
Ben turns to look at them, and says "Oh, boy!"
(Cut to Quantum Leap opening.)
@@spaceflight1019 I barely found out CaptainZro is an Old school sci fi show.
That would have been great.
🖕🖕🖕NBC. Every time they have a good show they cancel it after a couple of seasons. If they would quit showing a few episodes of shows then take a hiatus for a few weeks then show a few more episodes and take another hiatus they lose viewers to other shows then say they need to cancel because ratings are down. Its there fault ratings are down. 😡
Hopefully to appease the Quantum Leap fans they will have a special show and end it with Ben finding Sam and they both finally go home.
A concept that was never explored was that of a multi-leap episode during which the team has only minutes to figure out what Ben is supposed to do. Possible leaps are:
Preventing another Challenger tragedy.
Preventing the crash of a commercial airliner by telling the pilots what they did wrong the last time... while the plane is falling towards the ocean.
Preventing the loss of a ship and crew.
Just some ideas.
Bring it back it is sad
The many reason's why the reboot failed,
1. The Original Quantum Leap was mostly comedy with serious moments, The Reboot was mostly serious storylines.
2. In the Original Quantum Leap kids under 7 & animals can see the leaper & hologram. They can't in the reboot
3. In the Original Quantum Leap anyone that got leaped into was in a waiting room, Doesn't happen in the Reboot.
4. In the Original Quantum Leap at the end Sam Beckett got the ability to leap anywhere in his lifetime and didn't need saving.
5. The Biggest reason why Quantum Leap reboot got cancelled, Scott Bakula- Sam Beckett was never going to return.
these arent reasons lol. They're just continuity errors and stuff like that. People don't care about that
@@piercebunge4297 When u say people, you're talking yourself
NBC officials must be flummoxed. "Why are our reboots not working?" Its the same reason the bionic woman reboot in 2007 didnt work. Its bad writing. Let me explain. The reason that the original quantum leap worked is you had a goodlooking lead who would go back and fix/solve shit. It also pulled a lot of boomer audience because in 1989 Sam (the main character) was travelling back to the 50s and 60s a lot, and it offered the audience a fun throwback to when they were teens. There was nothing complicated about it. Sam kept leaping trying to find the window home with a fun sidekick guy to help him. The storyline focused almost EXCLUSIVELY on each episode on Sam figuring out where he was and how he can help with great throwback time periods in the background. Fun. Quick. Easy. Each episode had a beginning and and end, shit fixed, like an 80s episode of the A Team.
The reboot just had too much subplot in it and things going on. First, they tried to squeeze a soap opera in it between the lead and his girl. Who happened to be his hologram. But wait he had amnesia. Then when he remembered, oh now its three years later and she doesn't love him anymore shes met someone else. But for him it was just last week, so he cant keep his head in the game when he is working on what is going on in his particular episode. Its just extraneous bullshit clouding up the water in this series. But no. The writers were not done yet. They decided that they needed to insert more 'woke' into the story. So they introduced one of the head engineers in the future tech time/computer room as a guy wearing full makeup and sometimes a womans top. Ill stop right here and insert that I am not against that lifestyle. But it should be in a place that is not out of the realm of belief. Let me explain. This guy was sticking out in this black op tech center about as much as a clown in full makeup and dress. Big white hat with a puff on top, full white clown face makeup, big white clownsuit, big clown buttons, frilly stuff around the neck, and big bozo the clown shoes. And then no one is acting any different while he is walking around like this and being taken seriously by the director and the other workers. It was like a buzzer that was constantly going off and no one was doing anything about it. This is why: engineers are a special breed of people. They work their way up from top schools. They are conservative, serious (for the most part) and weren't jocks in high school because they were brains. They did not peacock, want to stand out, they just wanted to work. So the likely hood of someone coming up the ranks like this and not irking a director, a manager or freaking out the other employees is JUST ABOUT ZERO. You would not find a guy like this in a black op installation. Why am i writing this? Because this character added to the non belief of the situation people were watching and something OBVIOUSLY sticking out like this just makes people enter a state of cognitive dissonance, making this part of the show a bit uncomfortable. So: woke writers. "Hmm. We should stick in a trans character, make the lead Asian, have a running soap opera, etc. It was just too much for the show. I flipped on the last season of the new quantum Leap. The guy in the jump room was wearing a woman's sleeveless japanese dress, had his hair swept back and a face full of makeup. It was totally distracting, because I'll just say it, it's crazy. It would be like me on the show wearing a horse head mask during a department heads meeting giving technical updates to the director and the rest of the team. And NO ONE is bringing up the fact that I'm talking through a horse head mask. Or I'm bringing them to HR for disparaging my horsey lifestyle.
If they just kept it the same way it was in 1989, good looking white guy, a guy with a handheld ziggy, just focusing directly on the episode at hand and not a soap opera in the jump center, this may have worked out with good writing. Make the audience happy with something straightforward and have storylines from times that the viewing audience finds to be good throwback times.
The bionic woman reboot (2007) failed due to bad writing. Her bionics worked. Ooops, sometimes they dont work during a mission. Thats bad writing. If they had stuck to the way they wrote it in the middle 70s, she stays powered up, each episode working undercover for the government and she goes on missions, meets with the head in Washington DC for new assignments, etc, the show would have been a success.
NBC: fix your writing.
It was also thr skill of the actors as Scott and Dean meshed well and were believable in their roles. They had great chemistry and were actual friends rather than paid actors forced to be friends.
Scott brought a decade of Broadway experince and Dean had a lifetime of acting behind his belt. Dean naturally fit into the role of an advisor to Scott. Scott is a nice guy so he naturally fit into the world.
Sam was repetitive of the younger generation being a Progresive Liberal though not radical. Al was an older Conservative though not a Racist. Quantum Leap knew how to spread liberal ideas though reasoning and fact without being preachy about it
They need to move to Netflix and Peacock streaming services
Yeah, that seems to be where all the garbage ends up
@@martinr8278 yes
NBC like we don’t know why people wouldn’t watch it.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I loved it :(
It wouldn't be the first dual leap situation either
Nbc and CBS is the worst at cancelling shows that people want to see, nbc did a terrible job promoting ql, I didn't even know season 2 aired, and a lot of historical facts in the show, loved it
NBC SAVE SAM and Ben, WTF NBC BRING IT BACK
Aw man here we go again.. Heroes, Timeless now this ;w;
Why can't they just keep a good series going for us viewers to enjoy :c
Because there aren't many of you guys watching the show.
@@blueblur2273 Is a shame tho still :c
Wonder if it's also cause of them changing the episodes new premiere date from Wednesday to Tuesday.
Was kind of looking forward how they was going to have it played out having double leapers..
I was skeptical about the new series because of the old one, which I loved deeply. But after a few parts I was hooked to Ben and the crew. The new series is well structured and has also incorporated old elements and now this ending. Very unsatisfaying 🙄
It sucked all the way around. Quantum Leap fans knew this sucked
Bring it back
I think you should at least ended on a good note I make one more I can be short this way we can in on a happy note instead of people wondering what could’ve happened I think the quantum Leap the new one sitting on a happy note bring them back all three of them back then and then episodes
No come on it's been A great fallow up To the original and NBC is stupid if they Don't bring it back I hate when they Get you to invest In a show and Then just cancel it The reason they got An extended first season and Brought back for a second Season was because it Was a hit but Now you're canceling it That doesn't make sense Someone else please pick It up and show NBC what a big Mistake they are making !!!
I was so excited to years ago hearing about this reboot. I was also hoping that they would’ve gotten Scott Bakula, and rescued him more so in the beginning, then waiting for the ratings game. There was no imaging chamber, not much from Ziggy, just really went off the rails Unfortunately, it was just a matter of checking woke boxes, I know that lee said he was very proud of what they did. I am misunderstanding that because not even a full two seasons, and they really botched this just to appease culture and not the true fans. But writers, directors and producers will never learn, they do lack intelligence, serve the 15%, but avoid the 85%. C’est la vie, the original is still and only the shining star from NBC, this turned out to be garbage.
season 1 was a biggest ride for time travelling fun show but season 2 was the biggest disappointment time travelling show until the ending was really really bad... nbc what the hell is wrong with you...
Way to go NBC. Cancel an actual good show. You could have given us 1 final season to wrap things up
This was good?? Not according to 95%, they were lucky they made it halfway through their first season. This was garbage start to finish.
@@martinr8278 God forbid i have my own opinion right?
I liked both versions, and I hope NBC will do what they did with Timeless: make a two hour movie to wrap it all up.
Nbc have mercy oh so that God will have mercy on you
I’ve always wonder who makes these calls? Do they even watch NBC???!!!! I guess the public needs to deepfake season 3! Let’s do this!
NBC is CRAP!!! They do it All the time
I love This show!
Damm right this is bs
Yeah, imagine canceling a low rated show. What network does that? 🤦♂️
Nbc you suck!
Don't start a show if you can't at least ri ish it NBC
No big surprise here as they made this version as woke as possible. They made the leaper Asian, Dean Stockwell's character (Al)a woman, and had a Transexual computer expert, they literally crapped all over the much beloved original.
That’s the TRUTH! no imaging chamber, no Ziggy, leaping outside of timelines, it was just a train wreck. They had an opportunity to really make things a lot better, but it’s just for the woke culture. No NBC for me
I hope Netflix OR NbC considers making a partial order to wrap up the series. The original Quantum Leap was dumped in the same way and fans have waited for a formal ending to the saga for decades. I read they intended to wrap up both WL series, leaders, and plot lines into a very nic, leather-bound digital notebook of greatness.
Checkout Farscape and Gargoyles. I understand shows giving us fans the middle finger and canceling. These shows Finnish. La Feme Nikita was a good show that finished.
No the original quantum leap actually got ratings, and the creators were actually able to finish telling their story
#quantumleapfinishthestory
It goes without saying the original series holds a place in my heart. The first season of the reboot was enjoyable and I looked forward to the second season, but within five episodes I was praying for it to end. Unfathomable leaps of logic, terrible character development/arcs and so little focus on the point of the show in lieu of following drama between Ben & Addison and at HQ sunk the ship. Truly abysmal writing. Waste of a game cast and a timeless premise. Thrilled to see it's been cancelled.
UNIVERSAL... could you just stop being dooshbags and put out the second and final season to physical media already. C'mon! Even if it dosnt sell that great at least the collection will be complete for physical collectors and it will be the absolute last loss you'll ever take from this series. It wont hurt you to do this.
Lol
Gutted
I never watched it because Scott didn't return for the new series. In spite of the fact that Dean has passed away, he didn't need to return as Al, because Sam already saved Al. The show could have just picked up where they left off, with Sam having a son or daughter, in place of Al, to bring him home after 30 years. Then the adventures could have continued from there. Sometimes, if it's not broke, then don't try to fix it.
One. FN. Movie. Is all we needed. Yeah Sam either does or doesn't make it home. Sign the check done. But they went woke and broke. And I thought the actors were fine. 😊
Excelt Sam could always go home whenever he wanted to. He gained the power to control where he leaps. He literally chose not to in order to keep helping people.
This sucks
I am upset
Bummer!!!
This was an awful show. But I actually hope they learn from their mistakes. You can not leave out common Sense intelligence for emotional drama
The new show sucked. Acting was terrible. The whole, ‘this time his wife is the hologram and she has to deal with the emotional crap of watching him kiss other ppl’ was terrible. I can’t even get into it; lacked the charm and humor of the old series. It was NOT the old show.
I hope Quantum Leap gets another chance someday, with better actors and writers.
Shocking news, hoping someone else picks up this show now.
Shakina should not have been allowed to have anything to do with the show. Both of their episodes were predictable trans ones that facts dropped the ratings both times.
Facts
Yeah, I wonder why... This could have had a lot of potential. Maybe the new guy tries to find Sam, as we all know he never returned home.
Nope, lets just remake the show and be sure to cast minorites. That will fix it!
What does “casting minorities” have to do with anything? Maybe try get out more and I don’t know stop being a bigger racist?
to woke
NETFLIX TAKE IT OVER PLEASE ALONG WITH PROJECT BLUEBOOK!
I think it’s so sad that a show with actual significant queer representation has been cancelled, as a non-binary Ian Ment a lot to me😢
See if they'd have just had him as a character and no big deal, that would have been fine, but they brow beat people and came with the coughMessagecough. And that's where I left off. Peace.
NASA would never allow a team member to bring something into Mission Control that would be a distraction from the mission. Be your "authentic self" on your own time, but when you're in the room the mission and the lives of the astronauts is Job One.
That said, the problem wasn't anything "woke", it was poorly written scripts, a lack of chemistry, and a failure to successfully tie old and new together that relegated the new show to the dustbin.
@@spaceflight1019 Yeah the writing was off. I like everyone was waiting for a update on Sam. Ben's actor was actually enjoyable.
@@PleaseE777vidmax Sorry to say, but QL wasn't the first show sabotaged by subpar scripts and it won't be the last.
